The Current State of Podcasts With Shannon Martin
Since Shannon first appeared on the podcast in 2021, podcasting has grown exponentially into a mainstream channel for organisations and individuals. However, despite this growth, it is still a marginal tool in corporate learning and not fully embraced for its potential to make culture accessible and make exclusive conversations open for employees to hear. In this episode we address some of the challenges organisations face - and overcome - to make podcasting work for them. KEY TAKEAWAYS There are about 5 million podcasts out there. Over 460 million people regularly listen to one. Studies show that people absorb wha...

Measuring Business Impact Of Learning With Bonnie Beresford
Business impact is an elusive goal for Learning & Development, but it needn’t be. In this episode, as part of a series on achieving measurable impact, Bonnie Beresford unpacks what we should mean by business impact and how we make it attainable as well as planned and measurable. KEY TAKEAWAYS Learning must be aligned with business goals. Effectively measuring learning effectiveness based on business impact drives change and increases profitability. Without measurement you cannot improve the learning. 100% attendance means nothing when it comes to achieving business goals. Ask the client what a good result would look li...

Measuring Behaviour Change with Laura Paramoure
If L&D can’t influence or change behaviour, then we need to ask ourselves “What are we for?” Similarly, if we can’t measure whether behaviour change has occurred then our position should be precarious. In this episode, Laura Paramoure tackles this topic head-on to make it measuring behaviour change accessible and attainable. KEY TAKEAWAYS Giving knowledge to an employee doesn't make any difference unless they apply it in their job. Learning courses are instruments for change. The established measures of learning - attendance, completion, and satisfaction are not sufficient. Measurement needs to be built into the...

How To Plan For Impact In The Beginning So It's Easier To Measure In The End With Kevin M Yates
We kick off our mini-series on Measuring Impact with Kevin answering questions about how we plan to make a measurable difference rather than leaving it to chance or trying to retrospectively seek value once we’ve delivered an agreed - if not largely hopeful - solution. KEY TAKEAWAYS Start with the end in mind. Intentionally align to the performance requirements that help organisations achieve goals, Don´t measure too many things. One person in the team needs to be assigned to focus on measuring impact. Measuring impact means measuring performance, how effectively people are working, and...

How Has L&D Leadership Changed? With John Tomlinson
We’ve both been in Learning & Development (or Training, as it was known) since the 1990s. It seems that so much has changed and yet so much remains the same. I.e., Classroom training was the primary means of development, tech was emerging but seen as supplementary (and perhaps inferior), and we struggled to demonstrate our value beyond attendance and satisfaction. And yet the nature of work has evolved, technology has advanced enormously, employee expectations have shifted, and work patterns are more flexible. So how has the nature of leading L&D changed and what’s the key to s...

KEY TAKEAWAYS The purpose of L&D has to be to make it easier for people to do their jobs. Anything that does not contribute to this is usually just a tick-box exercise.
